The Robla School District Board Meeting held on May 8, 2025, focused on various educational updates and community engagement initiatives. The meeting commenced with a message from Angel Khan, who emphasized the importance of community involvement in the New Hope program, symbolized by their oak tree logo.

Fabiola Salceda, the Director of Early Childhood, presented a comprehensive update on the California State Preschool Program (CSPP). She highlighted the enrollment of 14 preschool children and 21 students in the full-day program, noting compliance with new state requirements and successful family engagement efforts. Salceda also reported on professional development for staff, including attendance at the National Association for the Education of Young Children Conference, and the implementation of assessment tools to enhance early childhood education.

The board then reviewed the Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP), which is a three-year plan outlining actions and services aimed at improving educational outcomes. The discussion included funding allocations and the impact of declining enrollment on financial resources. The district is currently focusing on maintaining class sizes and addressing the needs of unduplicated student populations, including English learners and low-income families.

Subsequent presentations from Taylor Street and Glenwood Elementary Schools highlighted their achievements and areas for improvement. Taylor Street celebrated increased attendance and community engagement while acknowledging the need to enhance English Language Arts (ELA) and math scores. Glenwood Elementary reported growth in parent involvement and academic achievements, particularly in ELA and math, but recognized challenges in supporting English learners.

Both schools outlined new strategies for the upcoming year, including targeted interventions and increased collaboration among staff to improve student outcomes. The meeting concluded with a commitment to ongoing community engagement and support for all students, particularly those facing challenges.

Overall, the meeting underscored the district's dedication to fostering a supportive educational environment and addressing the diverse needs of its student population. The next steps include public review of the LCAP draft and a public hearing scheduled for June 12, with adoption planned for June 26.
